Annales Medicinae Urgentis: Message from the Editors
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great excitement and heartfelt gratitude that we present to you the inaugural issue of Annales Medicinae Urgentis, the official open-access, peer-reviewed journal of the Croatian Medical Association – Croatian Society of Emergency Medicine (CMA – CSEM). As the editors of this new journal, we are thrilled to be part of this important project, which marks a significant step in the ongoing development of our Society and the field of emergency and critical care medicine.
This journal is the natural continuation of our collective efforts to improve patient care in emergency and critical situations. By providing a platform for sharing evidence-based knowledge, clinical experiences, and innovative ideas, Annales Medicinae Urgentis will serve as a space where emergency physicians, intensivists, and healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines can come together to learn, collaborate, and grow.
Our mission is to create a journal that reflects the best of our profession—one that promotes the exchange of ideas, encourages scientific discussion, and fosters a community of practice that will ultimately improve patient outcomes. We aim to publish a wide variety of articles, including original research, reviews, case reports, meta-analyses, editorials, and more. We are committed to maintaining high scientific standards, but we also want to keep the journal accessible and relevant to all healthcare professionals working in emergency and intensive care settings.
We strongly believe that Annales Medicinae Urgentis can grow into a respected and essential publication, but it will only do so with the active support and involvement of all of you—our colleagues, mentors, and experts in the field. We encourage you to submit your work, share your expertise, and engage in the collaborative process of building this journal into something meaningful for our profession.
We would like to express our deepest thanks to everyone who has contributed to this first issue. To the authors of the inaugural articles: your dedication and trust have laid the groundwork for what we hope will become a valuable resource for many years to come. To the reviewers: your time, effort, and invaluable feedback have ensured the quality of this journal, and we are deeply appreciative.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of Annales Medicinae Urgentis. As we expand our editorial team and bring in new collaborators, we will work tirelessly to ensure that this journal continues to grow in both its content and its impact. Our ultimate goal is to achieve indexing and international recognition as soon as possible, and we are confident that with your support, we can achieve this and further elevate the standing of our profession on the global stage.
Starting this journal is a big step forward for the Croatian Society of Emergency Medicine, and we are excited to see where it will take us. We know that the path to success requires hard work, dedication, and collaboration, but we are confident that with all of your help, Annales Medicinae Urgentis will thrive and become an essential resource for emergency and critical care professionals everywhere. We are committed to making this journal a recognized and indexed publication within the global medical community, and we believe that together, we can achieve this important goal.
Thank you for your contributions, your trust, and your belief in this project. Together, we can build a journal that will serve as a strong voice for our profession and contribute to the ongoing improvement of patient care in critical situations.
Warm regards,
prof. dr. sc.
